Josh Berry, driving the No. 21 eero entry for the Wood Brothers Racing team, crossed the finish line at Sonoma Raceway in 28th place, wrapping up the road‑course segment of the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series.
He began the Toyota/Save Mart 350 from the same 28th spot and managed to hold that position through the opening two stages, running in the mid‑pack without major complaints.
The race took a turn on lap 61 when a caution was triggered in Turn 2, an incident that shuffled the field and cost Berry a set of nearly new tires, a setback that dropped him further back.
Despite the loss of grip, Berry kept his focus, working his way back into the top 25 during the ensuing green‑flag runs and maintaining that spot until the final round of pit stops.
The eero crew elected to stay out longer than many rivals, a gamble that briefly lifted him into the top five before the team elected to pit with about 20 laps remaining, resetting his position.
Emerging in 31st, Berry still had fuel and tires left, and over the closing laps he gained four spots, ultimately finishing 28th as the checkered flag fell.
Looking ahead to Chicago
With the road‑course portion now complete, attention shifts to next Sunday’s eero 400 at Chicagoland Speedway, where the No. 21 will aim to build on the momentum gained at Sonoma.
Chicagoland, a 1.5‑mile intermediate, presents a different challenge, but the team is confident that the lessons from Sonoma will translate into a stronger performance.
